207: Chapter 207: The Demon Tree Breaks Through to Legendary Level

The light of the spatial teleportation array dissipated beneath their feet.

A brief sensation of weightlessness appeared, instantly replaced by a heavy sense of having one's feet firmly on the ground.

Lin Yuan and his party appeared inside an invisible floating fortress.

This was the Central Monitoring Room of the Small World.

Outside the transparent walls lay a dark crimson, tyrannical world.

The forty newly reported High-Risk Class freshmen had already been randomly dropped into various corners of this Small World.

Several virtual surveillance monitors were placed inside the monitoring room, displaying real-time footage of the forty people on the screens.

"All right, everyone is here. Let us get to work." Lin Yuan glanced at the screens and waved at the instructors behind him.

"The authority given to us by the school is unlimited training; go out and find your own fun."

"Remember, whether you set traps or launch frontal raids, as long as you do not beat people to death, do whatever you want."

Tuoba Lie let out a strange cry and was the first to rush toward the sortie passage:

"Haha! I haven't played such a legal hunting game in a long time! I've found that red-haired brat an eyesore for a long time!"

Yan Lie was blazing with fire all over, shouting aloud: "A real man fights head-on!"

Shen Yubai, Vice Monitor Chu Xiaoxiao, and Cheng E exchanged glances and did not say much more.

Each of them selected an area and blended into the storm outside the fortress.

In just a dozen seconds, only Lin Yuan and Bai Ye were left in the large monitoring room.

Bai Ye stood in place and didn't leave.

He took half a step forward, his eyes beneath his mask filled with anticipation.

Lin Yuan told everyone else to scram, yet he kept me behind!

This means we are going to do something big!

"Class Monitor, sir," Bai Ye stepped forward a couple of steps, lowering his voice and putting on a proper attitude.

"Tell me, who are we going after? Are you planning a special dimensional reduction strike against those few troublemakers?"

"The high-Rank undead under my command are already ready, and I guarantee it will be completely imperceptible, completely breaking their mentality."

Lin Yuan pulled over the revolving chair next to him.

He sat down with a thud, then crossed his legs and propped them up on the control console in front of him.

He turned his head sideways, sizing up the extremely excited Bai Ye.

"Who asked you to mess with their mentality?"

Lin Yuan fished out a can of iced energy drink from the Star Key space, pulled the tab, tilted his head back, and chugged a large mouthful.

"Ah?" Bai Ye was stunned and asked, "Then why did you keep me behind?"

"To work, to act as a babysitter."

Lin Yuan used his finger to point at Yan Lie and Tuoba Lie on the surveillance screen.

"The school allows a casualty ratio in this Small World, but these freshmen are, after all, Prodigy and the vital force of the Human Race."

"You go out and keep an eye on Yan Lie and Tuoba Lie."

Lin Yuan paused and added, "These two whose names contain the character 'Lie', their brainstems are more or less defective."

"Needless to say about that guy Yan Lie, Tuoba Lie also looks like a pure maniac of violence."

"When you are bullying the freshmen, pay more attention to the movements of those two."

Bai Ye froze entirely.

After all this fuss, keeping him behind specifically was just to make him act as a safety officer and cleanup babysitter for those two blockheads.

In the depths of his heart, Bai Ye greeted the eighteen generations of ancestors of those two with the character 'Lie' in their names.

He clenched his teeth and squeezed out a single word from his throat: "Fine!"

After saying that, Bai Ye turned around and left.

Looking at the tightly closed door of the monitoring room, the corners of Lin Yuan's mouth curled up.

Power truly was a good thing.

Throwing all the dirty, tiring work and the task of managing dangerous elements to subordinates allowed him, the top leader, to slack off with a clear conscience.

He glanced at the screen, and after confirming that the System monitoring was operating normally, his consciousness sank.

...

Lin Yuan hovered ten thousand meters high in the Divine Domain, and at the end of his vision was a completely boundless red-and-black continent.

The Divine Domain panel data popped open in his field of vision.

[Divine Domain Area: 12.6 million square kilometers]

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

The area had increased by another million-plus square kilometers.

These extra lands were all carved out by the Demon Tree over the past thousand-plus years, drawing energy from the Void Realm day and night without stopping.

Demon Tree the working stiff truly lived up to its name as the number one productive force of the Divine Domain.

Lin Yuan continued to check the Divine Domain panel.

The total number of dependents broke through the one-billion mark, more than eight times the previous number.

Looking down from above, the ecology of the Divine Domain presented a tyrannical prosperity.

Through a thousand years of reproduction, those small red trees bestowed with architectural entries.

Under the urge of the Demon Tree, they successfully spread over a large area.

And the dependents on the verge of life and death constantly triggered the effect of the End and Origin divinity fragment.

Death, resurrection, Breakthrough.

Millions of deaths every day provided Lin Yuan with a massive amount of War Faith.

Under this intensity of the Gu-raising mode, the Rank structure within the Divine Domain underwent a qualitative change.

Transcendents walked everywhere, and diamonds were worth less than dogs.

This phrase in today's Wasteland Divine Domain was no longer an exaggerated description, but an objective fact.

However, Lin Yuan had known about these boosts in conventional combat power for a long time.

He came in today because he had just felt an anomaly coming from the Divine Domain.

Lin Yuan's gaze condensed, his sight stretching across tens of millions of miles, locking onto the behemoth right in the middle of the Central Basin.

It had finally broken through.

After a thousand years of feeding, devouring plane remnants, and absorbing void storms, this special building that had accompanied Lin Yuan the longest...

...finally crossed that chasm, officially transforming from an Epic-grade building into a Legendary-grade one!

Lin Yuan flickered and appeared above the central territory of the Violent Demon Clan.

As soon as he appeared, an extremely dense dark abyss spiritual energy rushed toward his face.

The Spiritual Qi here was no longer in a mist state; it directly transformed into dark golden raindrops, pattering down onto the territory of the Tyrant Demons.

Lin Yuan looked down at the Tyrant Demon Race below.

The number of Tyrant Demons grew the least.

In a thousand years, it only increased from over ten million to over twenty million, more than doubling.

However, their quality was shockingly high.

All Tyrant Demons had completely evolved into dual sequences.

[Titan] and [Shadow Lurker] were perfectly fused deep within their genes.

Those Tyrant Demons unable to possess dual sequences had long been devoured by their own kind over the thousand years.

Lin Yuan observed a few Peak diamond Tyrant Demons fighting each other.

Their forms had undergone significant changes.

The [Multi-Armed Combat Body] entry bestowed a thousand years ago had been developed to the extreme by them.

One Tyrant Demon grew two heads and four thick arms.

The left head spat out void blades, and the right head emitted Soul shockwaves.

All four arms tore through space simultaneously, launching attacks from different dimensions.

Another Tyrant Demon was even more exaggerated.

It had only one head, but grew eight arms under its ribs.

In each of its eight palms, it held a highly collapsed gravitational black sphere, smashing them onto the ground and directly causing a local earthquake.

There was also a three-headed, six-armed form with Void Wings growing on its back.

Fights in the triple worlds of reality, Void Realm, and Shadow Lurker were conducted with its kind in mid-air.

Lin Yuan did not disturb these fellows, focusing his attention on the giant tree in the center of the basin.

The Demon Tree, originally 100,000 meters tall, ushered in an unreasonable expansion of its size once again.

Now, its trunk directly broke through 800,000 meters, like a true pillar of the Universe piercing into the crystal wall above the Wasteland Divine Domain!

The dark golden metallic fluid on the trunk had turned into a black-gold mysterious iron color carrying Chaos airflow.

On the surface of the bark, totems depicting starry skies being torn apart and worlds heading toward destruction naturally formed.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan was somewhat excited and brought up the brand-new data panel of this companion old employee.

[Building Name: Primordial Void Tribulation Extinction · End and Origin Mother Tree]

[Rank: Legendary Intermediate (Unique)]

[Current Status: Awake / Hungry]

[Characteristic 1: Immortal Source Realm. The root System is thoroughly bound to the Origin of the Divine Domain. As long as the Divine Domain does not perish, the Divine Tree will not die. When the Demon Tree suffers a devastating blow, it can extract the vitality of all living beings within the Divine Domain for absolute reorganization.]

[Characteristic 2: Plane Devouring Strike. The root System can not only extract energy, but also forcibly bundle, dimensionally reduce, and deconstruct the target plane. Every devouring will allow the Mother Tree to obtain the core Law fragments of that plane!]

[Characteristic 3: Divine Kingdom Phantom Projection. When the Divine Master is fighting in the real world or any plane, he can summon the Primordial Void Tribulation Extinction phantom of the Mother Tree to reality. The phantom's arrival causes Rank suppression at the level of the Divine Soul against hostile targets within the range.]

[Characteristic 4: Sumeru World (Twenty Thousand). The three thousand tree nests have evolved into prototype miniature worlds. Under the intervention of the Mother Tree, the time flow rate inside the world can be finely adjusted by up to three times! For any dependents cultivating in seclusion within the tree nests, eighty percent of the backlash and Breakthrough risks they bear are forcibly shared by the Mother Tree's main body!]

[Characteristic 5: Legendary Flesh Fetus. Produces 1 Legendary-grade living metal flesh cocoon every month (along with n Epic-grade flesh fetuses and Transcendent flesh fetuses), and devourers have a ten percent probability of directly crossing a major Realm.]

[Characteristic 6: End and Origin Force Field. Centered on this tree, it releases an End and Origin Force Field covering the entire Divine Domain. Any foreign life invading the Divine Domain without the Creator's permission will have all their attributes forcibly weakened by thirty percent, and their vitality will continuously drain.]

...

Looking at this long string of luxurious data, even with his current calm and steady demeanor, Lin Yuan couldn't help cursing a dirty word in his heart.

It was too outrageous.

What kind of perverted stats were these?

A ten percent Breakthrough probability below the Legendary Rank, eighty percent of the Breakthrough risks borne by the Mother Tree, and a thirty percent reduction in all attributes of enemies.

It could even project across boundaries into reality to cosplay as a speed bump.

Rumble!

Seemingly sensing the arrival of Lin Yuan, the Divine Master, at the trunk of the 800,000-meter giant tree, the fluid black-gold mysterious iron squirmed.

A metal face, countless times larger than before, slowly emerged on the trunk.

The eyes on this face slowly cracked open into slits.

Inside the slits, there was only a spinning starry sky and endless void storms.

Spiritual fluctuations transmitted into Lin Yuan's mind.

"Master... eat... ate so full..."

"Want to eat... bigger... ball-balls..."

Hearing this familiar voice, Lin Yuan's scalp tingled for a moment.

A thousand years had passed, and this thing had evolved from an infant to the kindergarten level of speaking about three or four words.

Calling world cores and plane continents "ball-balls", only this perverted Mother Tree would dare to think of it.

"Rest assured, there will be good things for you to eat very soon." Lin Yuan placated it with a sentence.

Once this military training ended, it would be time for the Myriad Clans Battlefield.

He had plenty of opportunities to provide extra meals for this tree.

The giant face seemed to understand Lin Yuan's promise, smacked its lips in satisfaction, and concealed itself back into the trunk.

Lin Yuan hovered in mid-air, just preparing to go to the Extreme North to check the situation of the Fire Spirit Clan.

Suddenly, a hurried vibration came from the Sea of Consciousness.

Someone was calling him from the outside world.

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, his mind stirred, and his Mental Energy rapidly withdrew from the Divine Domain.

In front of the main control console of the monitoring center, Lin Yuan opened his eyes.

The Star Key in his arms was flashing with blue light.

Lin Yuan sensed the source of the incoming Star Key call, discovering that it was Instructor Wen Muxue, the head teacher...
